Knucklebiter pulled his paw back as if stung. "Excuse me, Ma'am, but physical contact amoungst my people, means one of two things, combat or mating and I do not see you as either." Audra could not help but blush. She had not intended that the touch be more than a friendly contact. She did not know much about the Diblian people. She decided changing the subject might be the easiest way to avoid further embarassment. "I understnad that your family has had ties with Commander Shevab for some time." "Commander Shevab runs a very tight ship, my family is greatly honored to serve with him," said the Dilbian. It was not the most forth right response, but it did indicated the dedication that Knucklebiter felt toward his section commander. "How are you settling into Spacedock?"

"I remember when I first arrived. It was almost overpowering with all the different people and races and ships coming and going every day. I have gotten used to it, but it still fills me with a bit of amazement." (KB)
